Scenic Shiloh, Thursday, August 20

By Allan Edmonds

Tom Reynolds led a good group of OWLS on what was one of our longest and fastest evening rides of the season. We went out 45 to Bethel, then down Boltinghouse, over to Old 37, back east along Anderson, regrouping just before Shiloh Road. We then made the long climb up Shiloh to Tunnel and 45. At that point all but one of us, who had the farthest to go home, took Mount Gilead Getty's Creek and Kerr Creek back to Highway 46 and home. Altogether the ride amounted to about 32 miles, plus mileage from home to the start and back. This slower rider ended up averaging 14.9 mph home to home.

A highlight of the pre-ride organization time, while Tom handed out custom maps and described the route, was Shelley showing off her new TEAM ESTROGEN jersey.
